Free Adult Colouring pages 139

September 16, 2015 in Adult colouring pages / crafts / Free Printables by Jen Walshaw

As you know I am a big fan of adult colouring pages. I find colouring in a real release and they keep my hands busy whilst I am sitting and ensure that I can really shut off.

I suppose if my attempts at knitting or crochet had been more successful I would be doing that, instead I colour in! For me colouring in, is a way to express my creative side and is a great distraction from everyday life. I love the colouring books, but I also understand the value of free adult colouring pages.

Today I am sharing with you two plages from two fantastic new colouring books in the Art Therapy Range – Aztecs and Mayas: 100 Designs Colouring in and Relaxation and Buddhism: 100 Designs Colouring in and Relaxation.

Table of Contents

Free Adult Colouring pages

I have been colouring in these two books and I have to say that I love that they are hardcover and also the paper is great quality, so if you want to use pens it doesn’t bleed through.

Colouring Supplies:

I am often asked what products I use and I am a big advocate of using the best supplies you can afford. It is really frustrating to use pencils that keep snapping or refuse to blend well, oh and don’t get me started on pens that bleed through the paper. I always buy the best quality I can afford, not just for me but for my kids too. I want colouring to be a joyful experience. These are mine and the

These are mine and the MiniMad’s suggestions to you. Our tried and tested favourites. When I first started colouring I just pinched the boy’s products, which is why adult colouring is so accessible and over the period of a year I now have my own supplies!

Pens

We are currently loving using Staedtler Triplus colour pens (UK Link/US Link) – they do not bleed through the paper, which is great for adults and kids and they are really bright. Plus you can get different nib sizes (UK LInk/US Link), my niece has the 3mm nib ones (I bought her them for Christmas and she adores them). I also love the way they stand up in the packaging, so you can see the colours.

For a more inexpensive pen, we like the BIC kids coloring pens. These are great with minimal bleed through the paper and last for ages if you forget to put the lid back on (yes I am guilty of this)! (UK Link/US Link).

Pencils

Again we have two distinct favourites. One high quality and the other medium. Staedtler Ergosoft pencils are great value. They are soft and blendable and last really well. These are our go to pencils for pretty much everything (UK Link/US Link), they are not paying me to say this – honest! These are the pencils that the boys use for all their work and colouring too.

If money was no object then it would be Prismacolor pencils. I was introduced to these by the amazing illustrator Jennie Maizels (go check out her sketchbook club, you can thank me later). They are blendable, fantastic colours, durable and everything you could need, but are at the top of the price range. (UK Link/US Link)

Paper

As you are printing off these pages you can control the quality of the paper and unlike colouring books that you buy, you can print one sided (whoop). I print a lot of my pages on standard copier paper and if you have good quality art supplies then that is fine, however, if you are planning on framing or keeping your artwork then it would be better to print on a higher quality of paper. Or if you plan on painting them, then you can print onto inkjet watercolour paper (UK Link/US Link). For standard colouring get some bleed proof paper and use it to print off your pages (UK Link/US Link).

Accessories

You need to have a good quality pencil sharpener for your pencils. I LOVE my standard office supplies one. It can be adjusted to sharpen to a killer point or to a more blunt edge and there is something therapeutic about the crank handle and all the shavings being collected (UK Link/US Link)! We use a Staedtler pencil sharpener for our on the go one and this is the one we keep in pencil cases (UK Link/US Link).The other must have for me is a clipboard. I am often found colouring in downstairs on the sofa on an evening (I try to reduce screens on a night) and rather than rest on a book I use a clipboard (UK Link/US Link).

The best was to unwind is going for a nice walk with the dogs. I haven’t been able to the last 2 months as I’ve been recovering from 2 spinal operations and am stuck in the house so my lifesaver has been colouring in. It really is great therapy. Only problem I’ve been doing a disney princess book as it was only £1 haha. I would love a proper book xx
